Bonus Borrows = Extra Free Reads

If you use Hoopla, do not miss Bonus Borrows. During the last seven days of each month, Hoopla offers a rotating collection of titles that do not count against your monthly borrows. This is perfect for the end of the month when you have already used your regular borrows but still want something new to read, watch, or listen to.

Check Hoopla near the end of the month and look for the Bonus Borrows collection.

Happy Reading

💡 HACK 💡
Did you know your Kindle has its own private email address?

The "Send to Kindle" feature is an absolute game-changer. You can take any EPUB ebook, PDF, Word document, or long web article and send it directly to your Kindle library at no cost.

To find your unique email address, just go to your Amazon account, click "Manage Your Content and Devices," and look under the Preferences tab. You can email files directly to that address, or you can use the free "Send to Kindle" web portal (amazon.com/sendtokindle) to drag and drop files straight from your computer. It is the perfect way to read book club PDFs, free public-domain classics, or fan fiction without straining your eyes on a phone screen.

💡: Stop wasting your Audible credits! 💡

If you have an Audible membership, there is a huge perk you might be ignoring: the Audible Plus catalog! Your membership (whether standard or Premium Plus) automatically gives you unlimited, free access to thousands of audiobooks, podcasts, and Audible Originals.

Before you spend your monthly credit on a book, always check if it is in the "Plus" catalog first—there is a surprisingly deep bench of incredible Black authors and narrators available for free.

And here is a lesser-known tip: if you do spend a credit on a book and end up hating it, Audible has a 365-day return policy. You can return the audiobook within a year of purchase and get your credit back to use on something else.

What is the best audiobook you have listened to lately? Drop your recommendations below! 🎧✨

HACK #1: The Kindle alternative that plays nicely with Libby!

💡Are you tired of jumping through hoops to get library books onto your e-reader? Or maybe you just want to step outside the Amazon ecosystem?

Meet the Kobo e-reader. Unlike Kindles, which can sometimes be clunky when dealing with library books, Kobo devices have OverDrive/Libby integration built directly into the device itself. You can browse, borrow, and read your library books right from the screen — no phone apps or emailing files required!

Plus, if you are a heavy reader, Kobo offers their "Kobo Plus" subscription starting at $7.99/month for unlimited ebooks, and it often has a fantastic selection of indie and Black-authored titles that you will not find on Kindle Unlimited.

Have you ever tried a Kobo, or are you team Kindle all the way?
